This striking GARDEN APARTMENT with EXTENSIVE PRIVATE TERRACE forms part of Ocean View, a development of just ten individual homes located just a short saunter from the picturesque Babbacombe Downs with shingle beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe below.

Property Oracle says ..

The property is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment located in Babbacombe, Torquay, with a list price of £239,950. The apartment has an internal area of 819.13 sqft and benefits from a small, enclosed patio area.

Location: The location in Babbacombe, Torquay, is desirable. The proximity to several good-rated primary schools (All Saints Babbacombe Cofe Primary School, The Spires College, St Marychurch Church Of England Primary And Nursery School) within a kilometer radius is a significant advantage for families. The area also benefits from relatively easy access to several train stations, including Torre and Torquay, although the distances (3.27 KM and 3.53 KM respectively) might require car use for regular commutes.

Condition: Based on the provided images, the apartment appears to be in excellent condition. The interior is modern, well-maintained, and recently renovated. The kitchen and bathroom are contemporary, and the overall presentation suggests a high standard of finish.

Land: While the property doesn’t have a large plot, the small, well-maintained patio area provides some outdoor space, which is a valuable asset for an apartment.

Price: Considering the average price of £300,134 and average price per sqft of £330.00 in the area, the list price of £239,950 for this 819.13 sqft apartment seems reasonable, potentially even slightly below average considering its modern condition and desirable location. Nearby comparable properties (though sqft data is missing for these) are generally listed within a similar price range, supporting the reasonableness of the asking price.

Property Summary: This modern, well-maintained apartment offers a desirable location, close to amenities and good schools. The inclusion of a small patio area adds to its appeal. The list price appears to be competitive within the local market, making it a potentially attractive option for buyers.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
